I looked at my watch. We had another hour before we needed to leave. Jessie and I had made it a tradition for me to have at least one dance with her. It’d originally started out as a way of teaching her how to dance, but after a while, it turned out to be a pleasant way to end the evening.
Stefan danced with Alex as Jessie and I danced on the opposite side of the floor. Thomas eventually came over and tapped me on the shoulder. It was time for us to make our rounds and thank everyone for coming out. The car was waiting for us when we left, and Alex tried to hide a yawn as the car drove us to the plane.
Once in the private room in the back of the plane, I raked my eyes over Alex’s sinful body.
“Babydoll, how attached to this dress are you?”
She narrowed her gaze and crossed her arms “Don’t you dare.”
“What?” I asked innocently while Thomas stifled a grin.
“If you rip this dress, so help me, Declan, I’ll…”
“What?” I let me voice drop an octave. “What will you do?”
She swallowed hard, that sexy blush rushing up her delectable neck.
“If anyone gets to do any ripping, it’s me. This dress was clearly picked out for me.” Thomas went around to her back and ran his hands up her arms.
Little bumps rose on her skin.
Thomas unclasped a thin chain and slid the tiny straps over her shoulders. The dress fluttered down into a pile on the floor, leaving Alex in only a pair of black fuck-me stilettos.
“Those stay on.” I pointed at her heels.
Thomas kissed along her shoulder.“My thoughts exactly.”
ALEX
Icouldn’t ignore my phone after the third call. It had pinged even more messages after last night, but I didn’t want to pull myself out of bed to answer.
Declan handed my cell to me while Thomas grabbed my glasses from his side of the bed.
Spencer: Call me
Spencer: I’m going to turn off the forwarding on the phones to your cell.
Spencer: I will field all your calls from the clinic, but please call me when you get a chance.
I shot up.
What the hell was going on?
I had two missed calls from Dad, one from Spencer.
Alex: I’ll call you in a few. What’s going on? Is something wrong?
Spencer replied with a link. My heart stopped. This couldn’t be good.
Scandal with the royals?
Small town vet, Alex Brooks, was seen attending a charity event last night with Thomas Kingston. The two were arm in arm most of the night. One would have expected the announcement they were dating with the comment Thomas made when asked about his attire: ‘My jacket is on the shoulders of the gorgeous woman who came with me tonight, where it should be,’ but Alex was later caught looking dreamy-eyed while dancing with Declan Kingston. Lady Victoria Whitelaw, Declan’s original date, disappeared just after dinner and was not seen leaving with the rest of the party. Which Kingston will end up heartbroken, and what will Cosland think of this little vet?
Oh fuck.
“What’s wrong, sweetness?”
I gave the phone to Thomas to read. When he finished, he ran a hand down his face before handing it to Declan, who cursed under his breath.
